Why can't we kill application dead / crashed?

I'm sick and tired of having to do a hard reboot, get this sorted out surely not SO hard to untangle.  Right now I got 2 dead / crashed process that cannot be killed one's Outlook and the other is Chrome and occasional Firefox...

Give us permission to kill a process without having to do a darn hard reboot... plain and simple!  Do not dare tell upgrading me to Windows 7...

So what can we do to kill a process without having to do a hard reboot?  I tried taskkill, process explore and Manager window normal and all tasks do not have BIG time!

I'm really getting pissed out of this...

Hello

Better not to have to do those at all.

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems).

So, pretty much everything what THE affects affects also Explorer do these things to help solve the underlying problems.
Also update your drivers that have a big impact on performance (see following message).

Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

not better?

IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • Why can not download any application windows store?

    I have internet and I am able to search for apps. When I click on 'install', I have to wait 30 seconds until it says "something happened" and asks me if I want to try again. It does this for any application I try.

    Hello Lewie33,

    Maybe your RT device must reboot to configure Windows updates. You can try this:

    1. Select your user name in the upper right corner of the start screen, then select Disconnect.

    2. then tell your device RT to stop or restart to the login screen by selecting the symbol of power in the lower right. Your screen may say that it configures the Windows updates.

    I hope that when you restart the PC, your question/app Store will be resolved.

  • Why can not install some applications creative Cloud on my PC at home?

    Recently, my employer has sprung for creative cloud. I was very happy to use it at work. Given that I do a fair amount of work at home, it is particularly useful.

    Or it would be if I could figure out how to install all the software I need . I was able to install five or six apps already (Photoshop, Dreamweaver and bridge among them), but I have the following problems:

    • Fireworks: crashes at 54%, completed by the centuries of centuries. (I waited three hours)
    • Creation: Downloads completely, but then said "Waiting."... "for ever and ever. (I've waited 2 h 30)

    Ironically, I have aninstalled my older versions of these programs specifically because CC makes it obsolete. My PC is powerful enough to run this software, but I don't really know how to move forward. I tied up my computer the last two nights trying to install these items and don't have a clue what to do.

    Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to provide more information, such as pull an error log, or what you have.

  • Why you can not run portable applications on RT?

    Why you can not run portable applications on RT?

    Nothing is installed on the system. That's all, flash USB, a folder or drive.
    You don't have to install anything. So why can not run portable applications on RT?

    I know exactly what is a portable application. It requires no additional drivers installed or libraries to run on a system, if one is required that they are either built into the executable and extracted the runtime or are included in the same location as the executable and are referenced from this location.

    No portable application is not somehow the operating system to display the current status, error messages or generate logs for its operation. If it cannot accept input during its operation or generate a form of output it has no function. This is the basic description of a program to have one or the other or both.

    When you double-click an executable file is Windows (if it's the operating system) giving you the ability to open its location, see the executable file in order to select and issue the command to run. It's Windows that then loads this program in memory to run. If necessary, Windows that displays the dialog box to provide any input and display results or error messages generated by the program. If the result is a log file that it is Windows that allows access to the drive to create the file and the result is an error state in Windows that stores the status of the error, then it can be interpreted by another program. If the output is to change the status of the computer in a way, it's Windows that gives access to this device or component. The Hardware Abstraction Layer allows access to the hardware itself if necessary by a program and even that is a part of Windows.

    So I know what a laptop program is, more important still, I also know what is Windows.
